GAME SUMMARY:

As police detective Howard E. Loreid,
players are tasked to solve the murder of Clark Field, a wealthy man involved in
the occult. At the top of your list of suspects is Loath Nolder; a highly
respected private investigator who mysteriously abandoned his last case for
reasons unknown. Rumor had it that he ventured to several exotic places around
the world learning from tribe shamans and sorcerers. It remains a great mystery
as to why Loath Nolder disappeared so suddenly, resurfacing five years later and
resuming his investigations just as abruptly as he had left them. Why does this
venerated P.I. now sit on the other side of the law?

Your seemingly routine investigation
takes a dramatic twist as strange and terrifying happenings begin to plague your
psyche. You experience lucid horrifying dreams and are tormented by paranormal
happenings. Why do days pass instead of hours when you sleep? What’s real and
what’s not? As you pursue fugitive murder suspect Loath Nolder, you must face
dire truths hidden deep within a haunting darkness and the recesses of your
mind.

    and underlining excerpts in documents to garner critical clues.
